Medicare dashboard – for your iPad

The pursuit of BI Happiness involves being able to view your own dashboards on your iPad or iPhone. To that end, i began converting our medicare dashboard into a pure html5 version. It works much the same way, using the dame data architecture (leveraging our mySql datawarehouse with php generated xml feeds to get data to the dashboard). This pure html/js version uses google visualization API with ajax calls to retrieve the xml data on combo box change. The xml feeds get converted to JSON format that can then be fed into a google data visualization DataTable and displayed in the chart. I also implemented transition animation effects, so as you change your state selection, the chart will “swoosh” nicely, just like in flash… Enjoy it on your iPad! And check in soon, more features coming…
